Solar tuk tuk completes 6200 mile journey to UK
Tuk tuks are 3 wheeled vehicles, the common form of taxi transit in much of Asia. Most of the engines are 2 stroke gasoline motors, putting out huge amounts of pollution. An Indian engineer proves the sustainability of solar as an alternative energy source for them.
Also in a story at the Beeb: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37389181
Solar tuk tuks might not be the future in the US, but they are in much of the developing world.
